There’s going to be a Crime Watch group meeting at The Oak Lawn Library on Oct 21, at 12:00 noon. The Dallas Tavern Guild and Cedar Springs Merchant Assoc. will be in attendance.

This will be the perfect opportunity for residences and patrons of the strip to address their opinions and concerns for the safety of our community in light of the recent wave of attacks on our friends and family.

Please don’t forget to sign the petition – it will email the board members automatically to let them know that you are not taking this safety issue lightly and we want a solution.

Priced at $49 per person, the event will provide an amazing evening of entertainment for guests, who, in addition to having the opportunity to see J Sutta perform, will enjoy an upbeat experience with two of Dallas’ hottest DJs, DJ Press Play and DJ Vega, a special performance by rising live vocalist drag star, Gloria Devine, and complimentary cocktails by Stoli Vodka throughout the evening. A limited number of VIP tickets with Elite Stoli Vodka are still available. All ticket sales go to benefit Legacy Counseling Center and Founders Cottage, an organization providing affordable mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and special care housing services to people living with HIV and AIDS in the North Texas area.

Billboard Number One Dance Artist and former Pussycat Doll, J Sutta, will be the featured entertainer for this year’s event, performing some of her and the Pussycat Doll’s hit singles for Red Party Attendees. J Sutta joined the Pussycat Dolls in 2003 singing co-lead. In 2010 she released her first solo single.

THE PLAY
Greek god Dionysus, disguised as landscape artist “Diane”, plants seeds of seduction for four friends to launch her ultimate plan: draw acolytes to a Backyard Bacchanal that ushers in a new era of Dionysian Worship; one to speed the destruction of HGTV-obsessed America!

​Except Diane’s never been up against the real housewives of Red Bank, New Jersey.

​”Full of quick, funny wit, the play is a…high-minded social critique.” “…a droll treat and a smart mockery of suburban stasis.” “The play is most fun when examining the slow, reluctant departure of these women from their hard-line suburban principles.”– Patrick Malley / NJ.com

Synopsis: “Double murder. Small town politics. Investigators with blinders on. Corrupt District Attorneys violating an inmate’s rights. We’ve all heard that movie plot before. Only this time, it’s not fantasy — it’s reality. “Texas Justice: Brandon Woodruff” takes a hard-hitting look at the Capital Murder case of Brandon Woodruff, a 19 year old gay college kid accused of murdering both of his parents back in 2005. By all accounts, Dennis and Norma Woodruff were living the typical American dream with good jobs, a close family, and a love for each other that they thought would carry them into their golden years. All of that came to an abrupt halt one October night in 2005. Their lives were senselessly and abruptly cut short in an instant. With all of the elements you see from right out of the most fantastic movie plots, this True Crime documentary sets out to expose why Brandon Woodruff is innocent, but more importantly who might be responsible for the double execution.”

Designed for us, by us, Lez Talk is a women’s empowerment conference bringing together lesbian, transgender, bisexual, pansexual and demisexual women as well as our allies for a day of empowerment, support, love, and learning. This live, interactive and fun conference provides a safe space for lesbian singles and couples to learn and talk about topics from loving yourself to loving others and everything in between while protecting your dignity.

Sharing their personal and professional insights, speakers will offer tools to tackle issues affecting our well-being, and our romantic, family, and professional relationships. The conference is also aimed at equipping participants to navigate their roles as servants and leaders in the communities in which they live. Our mission is to help create stronger women who are healthy, proud, and unafraid to love and live authentic lives.

Join us for some or all of this three-day event! Let’s socialize at the pre-event welcome reception on Friday, get inspired at the Lez Talk conference on Saturday and work it out at the 3 mile walk on Sunday.

This monthly Tavern Guild meeting is in regards to moving the Pride Parade from Cedar Springs to Fair Park in June. We are inviting everyone in the community to come and let your voice be heard; both in support or opposition!
